This is a special class right here, to be an All-Star in the NBA. I don't think anybody would have thought when I was coming in the league that I would get this accomplishment. This is special. I don't know where I would rank it, but it's definitely high on the list.
Everybody would love to be able to be great and make it to the NBA All-Star Game as a rookie. I mean, that is everybody's goal.
I think what's bad is that there aren't centers in the All-Star voting anymore.
[Tyson Chandler] doesn't listen to people either. He does whatever he feels like and people will be like, "Who dressed you?"
People think of the Charlotte Hornets, and they think of me.
Growing up, I was always that kid that kinda watched All-Star Weekend on TV, every event.
I think Kevin Garnett is going to be really good at some point.
It's not the NBA Finals, it's not even a regular-season game. It's the All-Star game, it's a celebration. A celebration of talent, speed, grace. Let's put it on display and have some fun.
As a player, NBA All-Star Weekend contains a lot of joy and a lot of excitement. Even with all the hype built into the game, it's really a special honor to be selected among many great players.
Greg Ostertag is one of the top centers on this planet!
It's a different role for me, playing with the great Dwyane Wade.
The fact Jeff Teague has never been an All-Star is puzzling to me because he's certainly an All-Star-caliber player.
Wilt Chamberlain, by far, is my best basketball player. Best athlete ever.
Eric Gordon is a great scorer.
I frankly think the NBA All-Star game has run its course, the whole dunk contest... The game - if those guys actually played hard in that game, it'd be the best watch ever.
We are honored to host the greatest players in the NBA in the newly transformed World's Most Famous Arena for the 2015 All-Star Game. Over its 134-year history, Madison Square Garden has been privileged to host some of sports most defining and enduring moments and we are thrilled to add this prestigious event to The Garden's illustrious history.
He was a great individual. People that don't know Patrick [Ewing] and only see what they read in the paper don't know this is a man of great integrity, love for his teammates, and love for this organization.
When he's healthy, Zach Randolph for the Memphis Grizzlies has always been somebody that has always been very tough to play against.
When I think about the person who's been most in my ear, it's Joe Dumars.
The Evolution of Greatness' was an amazing experience, and it's something that we hope to have been a steppingstone for us to come back and not only do more NBA All-Star performances, but do halftime performances at events like the Super Bowl.
I would've said yes before I saw Aaron Gordon do what he did. And Zach LaVine went nuts as well. I think Gordon should've won for what he did. But what LaVine does is amazing. I don't know where he gets that bounce and that glide but it's incredible. I hope both those guys compete it in next year. Over the last years or so, I'd say the three-point contest has been more entertaining than the dunk contest, but this was really special this year.
